Hello fellow Podiatrists - i just wondered if anyone out there was looking for or had any solutions around the use of alternative materials to EVA or recycling of EVA? I have had a look at recycling options but these seem to be limited and I just wondered if there was a resource I maybe haven't found or tapped into?

Thanks for any advice or assistance!

KR, Andrea Graham

Hi Andrea,
Good timing, as I presented a poster entitled the 'Green Foot Orthoses Project' at APodA conference 2 weeks ago. It's a collaborative work, that has arrived at a 'proof' which we are furthering.
I will send across abstract, and poster soon.
In the meantime, here is some background, and the video that started it all in 2021: https://www.smart.unsw.edu.au/news-events/news/podiatry-and-sustainabil…
Thanks for raising this topic here, and for ongoing interest,
Kind regards
Angela
